Find Me Over the Peak

Hi! Lets learn what "find me over the peak" means and play a little game.

What does the phrase mean?

- "Peak" means the top of a hill or mountain. Its the very highest point.
- "Over" means on the other side or above. If something is "over the peak," it is past the top or above it.

So, "Find me over the peak" means: "Look past the top of the hill or mountain to find me."

Easy examples

• Imagine a hill. If a little bird is sitting on the other side, we can say, "The bird is over the peak."
• If a balloon flies above the top, you can say, "The balloon is over the peak."

Try this game: "Find Me Over the Peak" (step-by-step)

1. Draw a big hill on paper and color it.
2. Pick a small toy (like a toy car or animal). This is the thing to hide.
3. Put the toy so it is hidden behind the top of the paper hill (the other side). Say: "I am over the peak!"
4. Ask your friend or grown-up: "Where am I?" They should look and try to find the toy by looking past the top of the hill.
5. Give little clues: "Look above the peak," or "Look on the other side of the top."
6. When they find the toy, cheer! Then take turns hiding and finding.

Tips for grown-ups

Use simple words and point to the top of the drawing. Move the toy slowly so the child learns the idea of "over" and "peak." Make it fun and give lots of praise.

Have fun finding things over the peak!
